The remit of MG ALBA (the operating name of Seirbheis nam Meadhanan Gàidhlig or Gaelic Media Service) under the Communications Act 2003 is to ensure that high quality television programmes in Gaelic are made available to persons in Scotland.

It's the main aim of CLI to help and support adult Gaelic learners to achieve oral fluency in the language. To realise this aim, they may produce new learning materials, train tutors and act as an information service to the public to increase awareness and demand for the language.
